Right now it is 2pm and we are sitting in The Grampus Inn in Lee, having walked an intense up-and-down three miles from Ilfracombe. We are tired and would love to quit but as there are no more buses from Lee today, we will have to walk on to Mortehoe. This is the kind of thing that happens when you don't bother with bus schedules.
Parts of the Grampus Inn date back to the 1300s.
Onward to Mortehoe. Lots and lots of ups and downs.
Looking back. We started out around the farthest headland in this photo.
...and are headed way over there, as far as you can see the trail. We're hoping that's the end of the trail.
You never know what to expect on a hill like this. Will the path go down? Will the town be below? Turns out to be a lighthouse and lots more path!
Around here somewhere, according to the guidebook, is a little side path that takes us into the town, and to a cafe, and to our bus stop, and to our room, and so to bed.
We find the path and finally, Mortehoe!
Lovely houses and cute little streets but as we are too early for dinner, we can only get a cream tea. As the last bus comes at 5:20 and we're famished, we eat what we can.
